it is exceedingly unlikely that I will alert anyone to anything new.....so I can only do the nostalga stuff......does anyone else get this? (I used to be early to parties, but now im older.....but some old people still manage it ok)

for instance, I am now getting into Grimes and really like her earlier music

but I haven't found anything that's blown me. I think the alternative music scene has become way too niche and disinterested in appealing to the masses. British music in particular has been in a rut since the late 90s. The best band we've had since Radiohead was Coldplay, which says it all.

Most of my favourite releases in the 00s and 10s are by artists who've been around for a while. And as Nicky Wire said, there's still great music being made, but there's nothing that's really fucking good.
